Currently the 3rd paragraph of 'Characteristics' from the Storm Shadow's wiki article reads as follows:-
The Storm Shadow's BROACH warhead features an initial penetrating charge to clear soil or enter a bunker, then a variable delay fuze to control detonation of the main warhead. Intended targets are command, control and communications centres; airfields; ports and power stations; ammunition management and storage facilities; surface ships and submarines in port; bridges and other high value strategic targets – such as Russian Naval Headquarters

...
was that recorded from an arduino?
What's an arduino?
r/explainthejoke
And arduino is sort of like a rasberry pi, but more of a PLC than an integrated PC. I have a camera for one but it's like only a few pixels iirc, that's about what it can handle.
@Overheal Got it now 🙂
Brits enter the war 😂
Doesn't matter, they parachuted to safety just before impact.
While I would usually say to hell with the general public and their thirst for news and tragedy as entertainment, the next year and a bit sees important elections in many Western countries and it'll be interesting to see how prominently the war features in election campaigns, either in terms of support for Ukraine or far right and far left parties playing the "why are we spending money on arming Ukraine when we have so many problems at home" card.
Lots of action on Twitter about various reports coming from Kursk and Belgorod.
Also found this interesting
There was a report that 2 Strv 122 main battle tanks have been knocked out (may be repairable) . Shows that Sweden is maintaining support.
AUF are continuing to push, so this to be expected. Advancing all fronts.
I'm thinking back to Feb 2022.. how did Russia get/gain so much area.... so easily, so quickly.
Of course, even the much vaunted Abrams will come to grief. It's a complex and fuel thirsty machine too.
Yeah, I've heard while it's a great battle tank it can be temperamental maintenance wise
Ukraine had next to no real military readiness,and the most experienced forces were in the east , while post 2014 they started modernising to a degree they were still operating under Soviet doctrine and equipment,the majority of their leadership were exsoviet or fsb , it took them a while to get their act together with a lot of money, equipment and 24/7 live intelligence from the US and NATO
And they stripped some of the equipment before they arrived ,it's also a heavy beast which might not be suitable for every encounter
Lots of heavy fighting being done by the European supplied tanks, be they Leopard 2 or the various Eastern European upgraded T72s. M1s might arrive just in time for a breakthrough. Going to be interesting to see how they stack up.
Sure even the Slovenian T55s had their part to play.
This made me realise how Ukraine's air force hasn't been destroyed and how Russia's fleet of heli's and planes won't get destroyed while parked in Crimea. Both sides just hop in and move them as soon as missile's are launched.
Not sure the Abrams will be a game changer until they have the numbers I believe they are only getting a few this month and the rest will be staggered later on
As I heard someone explain, Ukraine was trading land for time, while Russia was trading bodies for land.
AFU knew they needed months to rally support from the international community and ready their own troops.
Considering this was coming several years in the making, they modernised a limited number of units and they still only ever had exsoviet equipment, going back to 2014 there was already red flags that needed addressing,the US were handing them equipment and a week later either that equipment would be destroyed or captured by the Russians, they have been receiving training from various forces since then including taken part in exercises with foreign militaries and NATO
Imagine they will do somewhat similar to the Strykers or Bradleys. Namely replace Ukrainian losses of that type. So while it certainly won't be the Ukrainian military's primary battle tank, imagine it will still feature in their order of battle a year from now. While something like a Challenger 2 would be a rare sight.
Highly likely yes , at some stage I'd like to see them see them move to the leopard 2 being they are the easiest to source in Europe, while it's amazing to see so many different vehicles types being operated in Ukraine it can also be a hindrance different training and maintaining regimes all the while trying to keep the in a real war scattered across a large front,
Abrams are 65 tonnes which is very heavy coming into winter. Didn’t know they were gas turbine engines which are a very specialised for maintenance.
Yes they did they knew what they were asking for ,
Ar least we hope who ever draws up the wishlist Knows something more than the average Joe Ukrainian
China have sold large numbers of excavators to Russia in recent months. As the Ukrainians break the lines, will russia continue digging trenches further back along the weaker sections
They have a few machines they can dig kilometres of trench a day ,
Drones will sort them excavators fairly fast.
Good to see America stepping up.
